Black smoke rose from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel to signify that
cardinals have failed to agree on the next pope in their day two morning
session vote.

Black smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, indicating Roman Catholic cardinals have not elected a pope in their rounds of balloting.

Cardinals voted in Michelangelo's famed frescoed chapel after a failed first vote on Tuesday in a conclave to elect a successor to Benedict XVI, who stunned the Catholic world last month by becoming the first pope in 600 years to resign.
